Sunday March 10th Highest Seed remaining
Semifinal winners.
Overall I like our side of the bracket. We avoid Hampton till possibly the final and I like us beating Presbyterian and could get Charleston Southern in the semis because I think they can beat Winthrop. Campbell has a tough road with possibly Hampton and GWebb or High Point.

I had the same reaction when we got the 2 seed. I would have liked us to win the regular season outright, BUT.....I do think we match up better with the teams on our side of the bracket.

Presby is not the the Presby of old. They have been pretty decent this year, but haven't played that great as of late. If I had to bet I see us hosting the final. Against Hampton, GW or High Point. I think Campbell stumbles and we push through. And Im trying to be as unbiased as possible.

PC was missing Davon Bell (their starting PG..he led the league in assists) in their loss to Gardner-Webb, and then he played, but appeared to be limited (he played 26 minutes, which is the lowest amount he played in conference play, and he only took 2 shots) in their loss to CSU...he may not always score much, but he definitely runs that offense. If he's healthy, they are much more dangerous...but as was shown in those last couple of games, if he's out (or not 100%), they aren't nearly as good.

Crazy night! They had 3 guys on their bench who normally combine to average 20 points a game knock down 56 points! Don't see that happening twice! But we'll need to be ready for a wide variety of scorers

This is a very spooky game, but I have no doubt that we are the better and more complete team and thats what it will come down to. Maybe Asheville has already mailed it in this year. They were pretty bad, so this score is not totally shocking. It is scary when teams get hot in a tournament, but I think we get a hard fought but convincing win.

defense looks great, and that's what wins championships. Outclassing them out there, but not outscoring them yet.

give credit to presby, they are boxing out and preventing our offensive rebounding, which has been our key to success the last couple years.
